Which of the following is false regarding the Ellingham diagram? |
It consists of plots of \(\Delta fG^0\) vs T Ellingham diagrams are based on thermodynamic concepts They do not tell us anything about the kinetics of the reduction process They do not assume reactant-product equilibrium |
They do not assume reactant-product equilibrium |
The interpretation of ΔG° is based upon K \(i.e., \Delta G^0 = –RTlnK\). Thus, it is presumed that the reactants and the products are in equilibrium. But, this is not always true because the reactant/product may be solid. |
